Shelley Johnson,
LCPC

CRYSTAL LAKE LOCATION

Shelley received a double master’s degree in both General Psychology and

Counseling Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology

in Chicago, IL in 2012 and 2016. Shelley has over 10 years of experience

working in the behavioral health field, with 6 years working as a therapist and

crisis (SASS) worker with the Lake County Health Department, Child and

Adolescent Behavioral Services and most recently in private practice.

Shelley has considerable experience working with a wide array of topics

including mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, ADHD,

Anxiety and PTSD, LGBTQ+ topics, and personality disorders like Borderline

Personality Disorder. She is open to working with any age group but has

extensive experience with individuals from 5-35.

Shelley is a single mom of twin girls. She enjoys sports (both watching and

playing), movies, music, and the theatre. There is nothing better than a live

show, in her opinion. She spends her time with family and friends, but

especially enjoys watching her girls branch out and experience new things.

Shelley approaches each day as a new experience. She is client centered,

compassionate, open-minded, and strives to meet individuals on their

level. She is passionate about helping others find their voice, growing through

experience, and not avoiding the things that make us uncomfortable. Shelley

believes that mental wellness is a journey; and if one is willing to put in the

effort, anything can be achieved.
